Mrs. Hawkins’ 3rd grade class, along with their Partner in Education, Kayla Thompson from Double T, had a fun and engaging day of learning. Kiddos practiced adding and subtracting multi-digit numbers to reveal a mystery image of the Grinch, worked in pairs to solve multi-step word problems, and created a plot diagram after listening to the story. They also enjoyed creating their own Whoville names and sorting Grinch-themed words by parts of speech.

Margo and Maizie know their ABCs! ❤️

It was a wonderful day celebrating our holiday parties! Thank you to all of our families who generously sent in snacks and favors, and a special thank-you to our Chilli MO PTO for providing fun games and activities that made the day extra special.










We are incredibly thankful for our CES counselor team for coordinating with City Hall to provide nearly 70 boxes of food for our CES students to take home during this holiday break. They are also organizing a “Shop with a Cop” event at Walmart this Saturday for approximately 60 students. Our CES students and families are truly blessed to have such strong support from our community and the dedicated connections of our counseling team, all working together to help make the holidays brighter for our students and families.
